Harper's Weekly

Abstracting None Updated Quarterly
Full Text Yes Interface HarpWeek

HarpWeek provides electronic access to Harper’s Weekly, the 19th century "Journal of Civilization." Harper's Weekly is perhaps the most important primary resource for examining nineteenth century America on a cumulative week-to-week basis. HarpWeek's electronic database makes it possible for the user to discover the lively editorials, news stories, illustrations, cartoons, and even advertisements that shaped and reflected public opinion in this era.

They have scanned the pages as facsimile images, then created both thesaurus-based indexing and searchable full-text which integrate with those pages. We have access to segments covering the period 1857-1889.

For more information on HarpWeek, plus curriculum plans and instructional resources, you can go to the homepage at www.harpweek.com.
